Verdict
Tawdeea remains unexposed stepping up in distance after winning a maiden race at Hamilton. Muntadab‘s latest success came over 7f but he’s won over today’s trip before while Optima Petamus signed off last season with a win over a mile at Windsor, though is 9lb higher for this. Chilworth Bells won a claimer at Catterick recently but is 13lb higher than his earlier win in a handicap at Doncaster so DEMONSTRATION is preferred. The latter landed a double on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton late last year and should be sharper for last month’s comeback run. Biff Johnson won over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in February and Off The Pulse won a lower grade contest at the same track last month.
